Notice: Greenway Series (Orienteering) - July & Aug 2020

This might be of interest to anyone wanting to get out for a run or for a family activity...


 It's all pretty basic. You are given a map and you just need to find the 'controls' and you write down the code on a piece of paper that you carry. You don't have to touch anything.

There is no need for a compass or anything like that, it's just a case of running or even walking to the various points and collecting the codes.

As you do this on your own or in a family group, everyone is able to maintain social distancing.

Details below...

Interested in a walk, a jog or a run with a difference (courses vary from 5 to 8 km and are on flat paths)?

Then try out the inaugural Greenway Series which takes place every Wednesday afternoon and evening

(3 pm to 7 pm starts) during the months of July and August, using the Greenways of Cork City and County.

All these areas have now been mapped by Sean Cotter and his Bishopstown Orienteering & Hillwalking

Clubs will be organising the series.

You need to Register / Pre-enter at least 24 hours in advance and give us your name and telephone number (in case the HSE requires it).

Entries to Sean Cotter at bishopstownoc AT gmail DOT com
